My first shave with this razor. A little more aggressive than my New LC but a very smooth shaver. Fantastic BBS shave this morning. The B&M Lavanille whipped up a very slick protective lather. Finished off with a splash of witch hazel and Floid Blue from my sampler. Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Mastro Livi CarboInox Snake Razor, 8/8 Full Hollow, Snake Point​

A magnificent snake shave! My new Mastro Livi Snake Razor is absolutely amazing. A breathtaking stunning beauty made of CarboInox Steel with a very keep and super sharp edge, giving the very best shave ever. I love this CarboInox pattern: Mastro Livi Twisted Damascus Steel in the external layers of the San Mai, stainless steel in the middle layer. Not to mention the artistic touch of blue carbon damascus dots inserted in the stainless steel, giving a beautiful and stunning effect: simply a sign of the endless genius of Mastro Livi, a proof of superior craftsmanship and art. I also used Mastro Livi badger brush, his well known loom strop and the excellent Martin De Candre soap, then a generous splash of my RazorGuy Bay Rum: simply the perfect way to inaugurate my new, exclusive and unique Mastro Livi CarboInox Snake Razor. I love this razor!​

Another shave with the Gillette New LC, and I'm looking forward to another good shave with it. Loaded a fresh Feather blade, and checked the alignment. Looks good and I'm really liking this razor. Whipped up some Jack in the OS Mug. Very nice two pass shave with some touchup on my trouble spot on my neck. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some JB balm. Finished up with some Old Spice. First flowers from our Hibiscus plants. Good sign for Summer...... Cherish the Day...

 

Nice Red&Black set! And the DeLuxe handle.
